Julian Grattidge is never happier than when fishing the banks of Capesthorne Top Pool, which he ranks as one of the finest carp waters in the country - and he should know! Julian once edited a 780 page ‘where to fish’ book in association with Angling Times. Editing the book meant travelling all over the UK to view waters for inclusion in the book, many of which he was lucky enough to get the opportunity to fish! Julian now works for www.AnglersNet.co.uk, the UK’s leading ‘all discipline’ angling website. Julian’s work on the site involves reviewing products, writing articles, and dealing with the tackle industry in general.

Julian has had a number of articles published on carp fishing and was recently appointed Carp Editor at North West Angler. In addition Julian also runs a number of fishing related websites including Mike Willmott’s www.EssentialBaits.com, Mick Ball’s www.MBBaits.com and the Stoke-on-Trent Angling Society website at www.sotangling.com.
